      dropbox sure!!!

      I do have that. knot in my brain. I'll go over the model and rename materials definitions and group names so the structure is easier to understand in english and post it soon.

        OK, there it goes:

        https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51151448/Skytower%20Sketchucation/Skytower%20Sketchucation.zip

        I also included a HDRI background I did in VUE with a cloud cover beneath the model. It's not the best HDRI but maybe helpful as most HDRIs are only black in the lower half.

        happy rendering!!!

          Thanks, looking forward to seeing some great renders/
          I have a couple of open days this week, let me see if I can add a bubble copter, the ones in warehouse are shitty.

            I use unity more than others, but cry engine is very powerful and can create very realistic environments, no coding needed what so ever but there is a learning curve, it's not easy to pick up but once you figure it out it can perform some amazing results, thanks for sharing the model, I'm working on a project at the moment and when I get around to it I may try it in a game engine

                Cool, love the bubble copter. Unfortunately I can't get presto to work here. I think the latest CUDA update on OSX broke it. Did you model the copter from scratch. Did you find any blueprints or just by eye?

                      Hi Castromann,

                      Very nice models and renders. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                      I am working on an unannounced project right. The futuristic architectural designs are quite similar to this building. Hopefully, I will be able to show something in the future.

                      Have a good day!

                      _KN

                      Follow Your Dreams.

                          Very excited. I downgraded my CUDA drivers and now Presto is finally working. The image you see is a 30min Presto (MC) render straight from SU (didn't even export to studio) with quasi no material tweaking. Presto is crazy stuff. Even with DOF this is prime quality for the short render time.

                          Only downside: as soon as I introduce IBL or mesh lights to the scene I get massive fireflies in the render that get worse and worse the longer it progresses. If anyone has an idea why this happens or what to do to avoid this behavior, I would love to learn about it.

                            I can do that, if you can wait until mid next week when I get time to do a clean up and post that is. I'm swamped right now but will certainly share the model once cleaned. (I risk my reputation in it's current condition) πŸ’š

                                  This is my first time here.....stumbled across this site searching for a 3D model of the Oblivion Skytower. I have to say, you're modelling is outstanding! I took the liberty of downloading the model, exporting it as OBJ, and importing it to Keyshot to produce these 2 renders. With your permission, I would like to use it in future renders, incorporating some human characters into the scenes, and release them publicly. I will, of course, give you full credit for the Skytower model, and, if you wish, include a link to where people can find your work. Not looking to make a profit here, just produce some cool renders for sites such as Renderocity, Deviant Art, and Koinup. On a side note, the Bubble Ship came from Daz Studio, a model they are currently selling there. Might I suggest, if you are planning on continuing to enhance this model, perhaps you should contact Daz, to see if they would be willing to collaborate with you to sell this model.......hope you like the renders!

                                    stevieC. As long as you don't use it commercially or abusive I have no problem if you use it. When you credit me please make sure you do a better job in converting. The first render shows a lot of triangles and faces that don't belong to the model (roof, pool, tower etc.). Have fun!

                                      I apologia for that castromann.....just did a quick export to test it in Keyshot, will do a better job on the next renders.....and thank you!

                                          So, This may be a little late and all but i've created my own version of the bubble copter and an accurate version of it for release at a later..

                                          but i'm curious from the dropbox link, you we're allowing downloads at some point and i'm wondering is there another place i can obtain it? or should i just the full nine yards and create my own version because i've already created a mockup model just in case.

                                            feel free to download. here's the new link (the old one is obsolete): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51151448/sketchucation/Skytower.skp

                                            I haven't had any time to work on it any further, others might have more advanced versions in the meantime.
